The management company of a city-owned senior housing complex near downtown Phoenix recently took an unusual step to check the units for bedbugs.
McCormack Baron Ragan hired a Phoenix company, Cimex K9, to lead a dog that is trained to point when it finds bedbugs. The dog was used in the apartments of the Senior Living at Henson Village complex near Buckeye Road and Eighth Avenue.
